Brisoldan now (strange, startling Accident)
Had found his Shield; Orsamnes by th' Event
Her Husband thought; with Coat tho meaner-priz'd
(Fine Cloaths beneath) Hat and false Beard disguis'd;
Since flight disdain'd, with naked Sword advanc'd:
Orsamnes whom (view'd costly Garh when glanc'd)
Their Chief conceiv'd, good Cause hrave Courage suited;
Sharp language, thus, Villain, thou Dy'st, saluted.
